Ways to install radiators in the apartment
Start with the wiring methods. There are five in total.
- Side connection on one side. This is the most common connection. In this case, the inlet pipe is connected to the upper branch pipe, and the outlet pipe to the lower one. This ensures the greatest heat transfer. If this connection is used when mounting multi-compartment batteries in which the last sections are not warmed up properly, you should additionally install a water flow extension.
- Lower setting. This type of battery installation is used in cases where the heating pipes go to the floor or under the plinth. If you look in terms of the appearance of the connection - this is the best option. Both nipples are located from the bottom and are sent to the floor.
- Diagonal connection is used when connecting multi-section radiators. The principle is that the hot water pipe is connected from one side of the battery to the upper branch pipe, and the return flow is connected from the other side through the lower branch pipe. This is the most effective option, which allows you to warm up the battery evenly.
- When the heating radiators are installed in series, the coolant is pressurized inside the system. For the air outlet, the Maevsky crane is installed on radiators.
- Parallel connection. With this connection, the battery warms up a little in the system.
Installation of bimetallic heating radiators
The video installation of radiators clearly demonstrates that in order to ensure normal heat exchange, it is necessary to observe the set distance.
- For full circulation of air, it is necessary that there is a distance of 5-10 centimeters from the upper grate of the battery to the window sill.
- There should be a gap of 10-12cm between the bottom grill and the floor.
- The distance between the battery and the wall is 2-5cm
The installation of a bimetallic heating radiator also requires the calculation of the number of sections. Usually it is believed that one section can well build 2 square meters.m. In calculations, it should be rounded up, providing a reserve.
Assembly kit includes:
- Screwdriver.
- Level.
- Roulette.
- Impact drill.
- Adjustable wrench.
The following tasks are performed when installing:
- Removing the old heater.
- Marking for fixing a new one and preparing a place for a new radiator.
- Install special brackets.
- Installation of the canopy under the radiator.
- Assembling the installation kit.
- Installation of cranes.
- Connection of heating pipes.
